THE PREDICTION
Just one point separates these two sides, who can both go top with victory on Friday. Holstein Kiel’s only defeat this season came against Greuther Furth, while Bochum have won four of their last five games – the exception being one defeat, which also came against the current league leaders. Confidence will therefore be high in both camps, particularly after resounding wins last time out. Both teams have been scoring heavily lately but have also let in plenty of goals, as illustrated by the fact that Kiel last failed to score at home in the league in February but have also only recorded two home clean sheets in that period. That suggests this should be an entertaining and action-packed affair.
